Umm…how do you use the lfl?

Post by Biggtex » Sat, 27. Nov 21, 03:42

I’ve flown around all 7 initial sectors.
The LFL GUI on bottom left says on (tried toggling it)
Read the wiki and looked at screenshots of what it is supposed too look like.

I’ve never seen anything pop out on my GUI.

Read the guides to find where the gate should be and after going to the sector…. Nothing

Just blank in the middle of screen flying the ship.

I’m sure I’m missing something but no clue what.

Please help. Thx

It's supposed to put a directional indicator on your HUD when you're in the sector that contains a discovery. Important discoveries appear right away, others you only find if you fly within a certain distance.

Hi and thx for the response. Unfortunately that is just it, I dont get the ui tools that screenshots show are what LFL looks like. Instead I see "X". looks like the x4 boarding icon to me.

Like this (im on the find gate mission and went to the sector where guides say it will be)

I have uploaded a save:
https://depositfiles.com/files/n5fkvyc7u

This was 1.3 start just over the holiday.
Also i was experiencing CTD's with that save, if I look at the blueprints while docked at the station. fine if doing same thing while not docked at the station.

I did try verify the local files with steam / toggling the lfl on/off / kind of at loss.

Thanks again for any help.

Loading your save, the LFL interface appears right away, suggesting it's a problem with your local installation. If you haven't already, also verify your X3TC and X3AP installation. If you have any mods for either of these games installed, try removing them.

I know you have solved the issue but it could be of use to others, avoiding a full reinstall:

I had a similar problem with my game and it was due to some custom files belonging to some HUD mod that resided in the DDS folder in the main game installation folder, removing those restore the lfl icons.
